Zune HD AV Dock

I just hooked up my Zune HD AV Dock today and was surprised to see an optical output!  The optical out works great.  I then connected and HDMI cable and the audio output via optical stopped.  I'm guessing once HDMI is connected, all audio and video is routed through HDMI.  Is there a way to have video (or video and audio) out through HDMI and audio out through optical at the same time?  I'd rather not listen to my TV speakers when I have a surround setup.

The way my 360 is hooked up, I get audio and video out to the TV via HDMI so I just turn down TV audio.  Then I run optical out to my receiver and use that for the audio.  Is there a setting or patch to get this same behavior on the Zune HD AV Dock?

re: Zune HD AV Dock
Hate to break it to you, but the dock will *not* output to both HDMI & optical audio at the same time :-(
I was really hoping that's be the case, but when I called into MS's support line, they told me its not (the guy had to talk to the "research team" to get the answer...haha)
